In this case the manual page gives the proper answer. From lp(4):
The communication protocol is selected by the link0 flag:
-link0 (default) Use FreeBSD mode (LPIP). This is the simpler of
the two modes and therefore slightly more efficient.
link0 Use Crynwr/Linux compatible mode (CLPIP). This mode has a
simulated ethernet packet header, and is easier to
interface to other types of equipment.
So do `ifconfig lp0 link0' to set it up.
Hope this helps.
